Chiitan was fired from being the mascot of a town and just decided to become some weird pro-Japan influencer instead, she is connected to some corporation but I have no idea how they profit off her twitter ads.
I will explain what Chiitan is. There is a concept in japan called yurukyara that are often town mascots meant to promote local tourism in rural areas. Kumamon is the most famous example. The original chiitan is a real otter from a small town on the island of shikoku. They also had their own otter mascot named shinjokun that was official. Chiitan the mascot was made by a private company to help promote the town too. However, after several complaints came in about pole dancing and death threats, the town distanced themselves from both the real otter and the mascot. I think chiitan has become like an influencer, due to their fame, making money on social media. Shinjokun is still the official mascot of the town. I hope this helps!
Chiitan even appeared in a recent season of Takeshi's Castle (aka MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, yes that old one) doing the events in the full suit. It's amazing.
I constantly get an ad about Coldplay tickets but it's an obvious scam, it even has a Community note warning people about it 😭 The site is genuinely ruined
I saw a chiitan ad once and the caption said that it was their mission to buy out all the advertising on twitter so that nobody has to see real ads again and honestly based if that's part of it HGUILSDHGUISDL
Last time I checked Chiitan was not an official mascot of Japan. They used to be kinda affiliated with one town, but were then deemed too violent for even loose association. There's a good John Oliver episode on them
i love when Chiitan said they have no gender, the attached video was of them escaping from the police on a motorbike like who the fuck does that?! its so cool
man I've loved chiitan for years! once they were a guest at an anime convention in bilbao and i don't even remember what they did, just that i was so happy when i saw chiitan walk around the con
I fucking love chiitan. I wrote a whole essay about the yurukyara concept and well, its a whole rabbithole. Jarvis do a whole video on crazy yurukyara pleeeeeease
In the 90's Japanese pro wrestling had a whole bunch of deathmatch wrestlers that just straight up ripped off American horror movie icons like Jason and Letherface mostly in promotions like W*ING or FMW
as someone who blocks every ad i see for a bit I thought i was getting chiitan because i made it to no man's land but it's nice to see chiitan is universal (I would never block chiitan, chiitan is a friend or possibly some sort of fae either way chiitan stays 😤)
My guess is that the emojis are so the Twitter doesn’t auto pick up on the Dms as scams since Twitter is not registering a bunch of the same messages being sent by different accounts
To be a little cynical, the mascot is still furthering capitalism because the nation state as it exists today is a result of capitalism, so nationalist sentiment from this mascot (yes I’m aware I’m taking it to serious that’s what makes it fun) is still advancing capitalism
honestly, i've been blocking almost all ads i see and they keep showing me AI and crypto shit. I'm all for real people combatting that in their own way
Twitter ads failing you too? Cold emailing could be your answer. For the past three months, Do You Mail has been my go-to tool. Unlimited email sending from unlimited domains? Yes, please! Plus, the automatic SPF DKIM DMARC configuration takes the hassle out of things. If Twitter ads are making you pull your hair out, you might want to try this out.

Chiitan doesn't even sell anything.
I'm all for it!!
They DO sell things they just dont advertise their products. you can buy emoji packs and stuff from their website

@@TannerOfTheNorththat’s awesome, I wanna see that.
Plus John Oliver likes Chitaan
@@TannerOfTheNorth wild to learn that legendary director/actor Beat Takeshi now knows about Chiitan
@@TannerOfTheNorth thats how i found out about chiitan lol
I only get ads for concepts. Like I got an ad last night for a burger. Not for McDs or Burger King literally just the concept of a burger
Honestly, that seems nice, lol.
I get one that’s a guys face, and just a caption like “fix broken ankle?”
I constantly get an ad about Coldplay tickets but it's an obvious scam, it even has a Community note warning people about it 😭 The site is genuinely ruined

Chiitan is the only good ad on Twitter

Chiitan died (via exploding baseball bat) for our sins
Chiitan is the best agender fairy baby, I adore him, he is wonderful

Like if gritty were an adorable otter

A red flag if you call it "X"
It’s Pride month, we respect all identities here
@@reykaye6096if Elon is gonna deadname his child, then I'm gonna deadname Twitter.
@@reykaye6096okay that’s actually funny as fuck
@@reykaye6096corporations aren’t people and can’t be deadnamed
@@chuckyforeverno, it's really not. It's the "I identify as blablabla" joke from over a decade ago with a fresh coat of paint
When I get a twitter ad, I get either Chiitan or an ad to donate to help Walter White.
If i see any chiitan slander in this vid there will be problems
_"Behold hammer soup, welder at the door."_
Cryptic.
I’ve followed Chiitan for years even before the advertising. I love Niche Japanese mascots; Chiitan just happens to be my favorite baby otter!
man I've loved chiitan for years! once they were a guest at an anime convention in bilbao and i don't even remember what they did, just that i was so happy when i saw chiitan walk around the con
"Which type of dollar? Because if it's Australian, it's like, yen" As an Australian who can no longer afford anything... OOF.
I dunno, i think if you're getting Chiitan ads, then they're working properly.
CHIITAN PODCAST GUEST WHEN
chiitan, japan's crazy mascot son or random guy buying ad space to talk about his day daughter
I fucking love chiitan. I wrote a whole essay about the yurukyara concept and well, its a whole rabbithole. Jarvis do a whole video on crazy yurukyara pleeeeeease
dude u should make one instead!
Please be nice to Chiitan. Ive been a big fan for years , im so glad theyre famous now
In the 90's Japanese pro wrestling had a whole bunch of deathmatch wrestlers that just straight up ripped off American horror movie icons like Jason and Letherface mostly in promotions like W*ING or FMW
I love Chiitan Japan's Crazy Mascot
Hop off the goat Chiitan 🔥 🔥
as someone who blocks every ad i see for a bit I thought i was getting chiitan because i made it to no man's land but it's nice to see chiitan is universal (I would never block chiitan, chiitan is a friend or possibly some sort of fae either way chiitan stays 😤)
chiitan mention!!!
Did not need that stray at Australia
JORDAN LOOKS LIKE BOB ROSS SLAY
desperately needing "emotional pervert" on merch bc i have been calling myself that independent of the show for the past year lmao
You're a real emotions bastard
I love chiitan I’d rather have them then crypto and AI art ads
I was not ready for Jordan's hair. I feel like I havent seen him for ages, then suddenly this? honestly? ....power move
Jordan is here just aging like a fiiiine wine!
Leave Chiitan alone!!!
My guess is that the emojis are so the Twitter doesn’t auto pick up on the Dms as scams since Twitter is not registering a bunch of the same messages being sent by different accounts
It's not just you, Jarvis! Chiitan and SolarHeavy are half my ads. The other half are cheap mobile game ads I can never decipher as real or fake.
I also only get Chiitan ads on twitter now! (Honestly I love them) but I’mma say it’s bc of John Oliver
Anyone else remember when John Oliver did a whole episode on Chii-tan?
There better not be chiitan slander in this video
chiitan is my goat
Finally feel cool for liking chiitan before the current phenomenon
Silly me, I just block all the ads
dont block chiitan please and thank you chiitan only wants to entertain us :)
Jarvis & Jordan really be twinning in this vid 🤣
3:29 if it’s australian $ then it’s like yen 😭
CHIITAN IN THUMBNAIL

Jordan looks like an actor of a 70s blaxplotation film, love it ❤
Dammit.
I _told_ my sister that having me send those messages wouldn’t get Jarvis to notice her! 🤦
CHIITAN SWEEP
honestly, i've been blocking almost all ads i see and they keep showing me AI and crypto shit. I'm all for real people combatting that in their own way
chiitan is the only thing i see too. they must be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on those ads and we have no idea why
they're buying up ad space to stop crypto etc ads spreading misinformation
Wow dudes thanks for fueling my boredom 👍
Love the random Linkin Park tangent 😆
Chiitan had a Last Week Tonight segment in their honor.
omg that solar heavy one pisses me of
6:03 i got an ad here and it was very crazy and wacky
